Hi Jill, This past September, I presented a conference paper at SEMA on Jesus and incest. A couple sources I found useful were an article by Rachel Fulton on the Assumption and the Song of Songs which appears in Viator 27(1996). [I'm sorry I don't remember the exact title now...] Secondly, there is a new book out by Jaroslav Pelikan entitled <Mary through the Centuries: Her Place in the History of Culture.> Feel free to contact me privately as well.
